*Please excuse cross-postings* We are very excited to announce the Code4LibNYC Winter Workshops, scheduled for January 22, 2015 at METRO <http://www.metro.org/>. These workshops are a chance for people in the Code4LibNYC community to drill down on some helpful tools and code. The morning (9 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.) workshop, led by Brian Hoffman, will be a hands-on introduction to Rails, a popular web development framework. You can find more details and register here: http://metro.org/events/575/ This afternoon workshop (1:30 p.m. - 5 p.m.), led by Ben Armintor, will be an introduction to Project Blacklight (projectblacklight.org), an open source discovery interface built with Rails. You can find more details and register here: http://metro.org/events/576/ Notes: - You can register just for one workshop, but there is a discount for registering for both. See the registration pages for details. - We are looking for volunteers at either (or both) workshops to serve as teaching assistants/proctors. This involves helping participants as questions arise while the workshop is ongoing. Please email us if you are interested! - Participants *must* bring their own laptops with Rails installed. We will circulate instructions on installing Rails a week or so before the workshops. Depending on interest, there may also be an informal 'install-fest' get together as well. As ever, if you would like to see some activity or event as part of Code4LibNYC, get in touch! We also have presentations from previous meetings available at our libguide: http://libguides.metro.org/code4libnyc Drew Gordon + Christina Harlow Code4LibNYC Organizers -- Christina Harlow Metadata Specialist Columbia University Libraries [log in to unmask] http://www.christinaharlow.com/ @cm_harlow +1 212 854 8457 102 Butler Library, MC 1111
